POSTUM CEREAL. NEW COFFEE. For the U. S. Army. Almost all the fiddlers in town were among the audience that gathered at the Wilczek-Schluter concert last night at the Alhambrz Theater. It is not every day that two violin soloists of large reputation may be: hcard on the same programme, and in spite of the threatening weatler a good many lovers | of the “canny, wee instrument” listened | to Franz Wilczek’s golden tone and Max Schieter's poetic renderings, testi- fying ample satisfaction in the perform- ance. Wilczek has a tone of a thousand. Its peculiar roundness, depth, radiance, in- vests his least interesting moments with ! certain charms. He has a technique de- lightful in its sureness, and a style at vnce brilliant and authoritative. The Sarasate “Zapateado” was handled in unexceptionable fashion, as well as a lit- tle encore solo on the G string, a small gem of tone painting. Mr. Wilczek also gave the Max Bruch “Romanze.” Mr. Schluter showed a fine, agreeable tone, and in the Gade Sonata in D minor a poetry and breadth in’his readings that lent much charm to the compaosition. He was ably assisted by Otto Bendix in the | number. A “Scherzo Diabolique” of Hu- ltay and the “Chanson Triste” of Tschaikowsky, heartily redemanded, werc also of Mr. Schluter's programme. The violin duets of Godard were a :cherming novelty, and the Dvorak | with the competent assistance of Jaulus, proved strongly interesting. Corne'ia Little’'s sympathetic contralto. in an effective group of songs added much to the pleasure of the programme, and the accompaniments of Mr. Ormay, clear and sympathetic, were a valued feature.

Brown, One of the Last of the Old Time- ' River Navigators and Bay Ferry Masters, and Who Was Known to Thousands of People, Dies at the Age of 82 LAMEDA, Nov. 18.—Captain John K. Brown, one of the last of Cali- fornia’s pioneer river steamboat men and bay masters, is dead at his home, 2230 Santa Clara ave- nue, at the age of 8. Death piloted the old mariner to the last haven this afternoon at 4 o'clock. With him when he passed away were his daughter, Mrs. Tda Coffin, of Catskill, New York, and his son, George W. Brown, of this city. For twenty-seven years Captain Brown was the master of the ferryboat Oakland. In that capacity and during. that period he became known to thousands and thou- sands of people, who regularly crossed the bay on his steamer. He retired from ac- tive service three years ago because of ad- vanced age. At e time of his retire- | ment he was the typical ancient mariner, white-haired, rugged and remarkably ac- one of his years. About six months ago he suffered an attack of pneumonia, which undermined his system and incidentally brought on a complica- tion of ailments that finally resulted in death. < Captain Brown was a born steamboat ‘When but sixteen years of age he owned and operated a small tug on the Hudson River, famous as the wa- terway on which Robert Fulton ran the first steamboat invented. New Baltimore, New York, was the birthplace of Captain Brown. After following steamboating in i his native State until 30 years of age, he | with a number of other adventurous com- i panions, sailed for California on the ship Wilson G. Hunt, which arrived in San Franeisco in 1851 _The voyage was a tempestuous one and those on board of the stanch craft deemed themselves for- tunate in reaching their destination.

Since then they have joined the lec- trical Workers' Union and asked for re- instatement, but a petition was present- ed from the Machinists’ Union urging that men from their organization be ap- pointed to the positions.

The directors of the Olympic Athletic Club have postponed their championship boxing tournament until the second week in February. It was found that a num- ber of boxers could not compete early in December, as the Christmas holiday work would prevent their training.

Thirty years ago he entered the employ of the Southern Pacific Company, was given the command of the ferryboat Oakland and remained her master until he retired. He was noted as a careful and skillful cap- tain and enjoyed the confidence of his employers and the general public alike. Captain Brown resided in Alameda for twenty-seven years.

Son Travels Steadily for Two Years, but Returns With- out Hope. S il LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18.—John C. Smithers hag returned to Los Angeles af- ter two years’ constant travel in search of his father. His quest took him almost around the world, but it was fruitless and hé has about given up hope. " The, father's name is W. N. Smithers. He 18ft ‘here four. years ago to look af- ter a mining investment near New Ham- 24 the Transvaal, Scuth Africa, and has never been heard from since. The elder Smithers was a carpenter here during the “boom” and accumulated considerable money, part of which he invested in the South African mines, hearing nothing from the investment, Smithers concluded to go in person to look after it. He left Los Angeles in Sep- tember, 1888, for New York, sailing from that port for Capetown. Early in 1900 a letter was received from the officers of the mining company, in- closing a check for.a large dividend, and also an offer to purchase the Smithers interest at a large sum. Young Smithers then went to South Africa, where he sold the interest of his father in the mine and started in search of the missing man, | who -never had appeared at New Ham- burg. He went to England and thence sailed for Calcutta, India. having ascer- tained that a man of his father's name had enlisted in the British army. He | traveled through India and finally found the man, only to be disappointed, as the soldier was but little older than him- self. He then returned to Los Angeles and is preparing to take his mother back to their.old home in lowd. FEDERAL IRRIGATION ADVOCATES TRIUMPH Significance of the Election’s Result in. the Oregon State Association. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 18—The Ore- gon Irrigation Association met to-day, clected permanent officers, appointed com- mittees on resolutions and legislation, and adjourned untH to-morrow. The Tollow- ing were elected to serve during the en- suing vear: President, A. H. Devers of Portland; vice-president, W. R. King, Malheur county; secretary, J. M. Moor: Rortland; treasurer, W. T. Wright, Union County. . The election of Devers is considered a victory for the adherents of Government irrigation, as against private enterprise under the jCarey act. The resolutions passed by the association will be received by the United States Government as a partial ‘guide for its reclamation work and as -an expression of popular senti- ment in this State. General George H. Williams, Mayor of Portland, delivered the address of wel- come to the delegates, in which he face- tiously referred to the steady downpour of rain durlng the past two days, re- marking that “Eastern people who have traveled in California and have been told | there that it rains twelve months of the {year in Oregon will be surprised to hear, that a million of dollars can be properly expendled in this State in artificial irriga- tion, but they do not know that Oregon is a State distinguished for its variety of scenery, climate and soil.” e~ ST. VINCENT ISLANDERS HAVE GLOOMY PROSPECTS LONDON, Nov. 18.—The Governor of the Windward Islands has sent a dispatch to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain in which he says the prospects of the inhabitants of the island of St. Vincent are placker than they have ever been. He lieves that Georgetown will have to be abandon- ed, while it is doubtful if any part of the island is out of the range of danger of La Soufriere, which he describes as “this terrible volcano.” The dispatch adds that the southeastern | end of the island, to which ‘the inhabi- tants of the district around La Soufriere have fled in the hope of safety, is badly off for water, and “if more people are crowd- ed there they will not be able to exist. No term can be fixed to the action of the mountain and the people cannot go on like this indefinitely.” VIENNA, Nov. 18.—A dispatch to the Neue Freie Presse from Salonica to-day announced that three violent earthquakes accompanied by wind of extraordinary ve- locity were felt there during the night. No serious damage was done. —_————— Licensed to Marry. OAKLAND. Nov. 18.—The following marriage licenses were issued to-day: John Gay, aged 25, and Delia McDevitt, 29, both of San Francisco; Lee H.

The all important thing is to keep the stomach right and to do this it is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare. makes a capricious appetite and a feeling that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided. Professor Wiechold }lves pretty good advice on this subject. He says: “I am 68 years old and have never had a serious illnass, and at the same time my life’ has been largely an indoor one, but I early discovered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on the contrary, I always eat what my appetite craves, but daily for the past eight years I have made it a practice to take one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal and I attribute my robust health for a man of my age to the regular daily use of Stuart’s Tab- lets “My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were perfect- Jy harmless and were not a secret patent medicine, but contained only the natural digestives, peptones and diastase, and after using them a few weeks I have never ceased to thank him for his advice. “I honestly believe the habit of taking Btuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to the well and strong.” Men and women past 50 years of age need a safe digestive after meals to in- sure a perfect digestion and to ward o disease and the safest, best known an most widely used is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They are found in every well regulated household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly pushing their way into popular favor. All druggists sell Stuart's s Tablets, .full sized packages, at 50 cents, and for a weak stomach a 50 cent package will often do $50 worth of good.
